NHS England announces inspiring female healthcare scientists to join 2017 fellowship programme

Following a successful first year, NHS England has announced four new candidates for the 2017 Chief Scientific Officer’s (CSO) WISE Fellowship starting in September 2017.

The programme launched in conjunction with International Women’s Day last year, attracted over 50 applications from female healthcare scientists who will act as role models to inspire the next generation of scientists.

The Chief Scientific Officer’s WISE Fellowship Programme is a bespoke 12 month initiative, in partnership with WISE – a campaign for gender balance in science, technology and engineering.

Due to the high quality of applications, an additional one day leadership development opportunity, including expert coaching from WISE will be open to all applicants.

The Fellowship includes a career development programme, providing mentoring support, communication and leadership skills training starting in September 2017. In addition to allocated training, activity and network days, the fellows will attend both the WISE and Chief Scientific Officer conferences.
